New York City Theft Crime Lawyer

Shoplifting, Burglary, Robbery and Other Theft Crimes in NYC

Theft crimes encompass a wide variety of more specific crimes such as burglary, petty theft, embezzlement, fraud, robbery, identity theft and many others where a person has knowingly, unlawfully stolen another person's property without their consent. Theft crimes can be both violent and non-violent, with non-violent offenses traditionally receiving less severe sentences than those who threaten with physical harm or actually commit physical violence over another. Some of the largest theft crimes in history, known as white collar crimes, were committed without the threat of any violence at all.

Why hire a NYC theft defense attorney?

Penalties for theft crime convictions depend on a variety of factors. The value of items stolen in the crime is one of the most important factors, as the total value will often help to determine whether the crime is a misdemeanor or a felony, which can impose a significantly longer prison term in addition to very costly fines and compensation in cases where a civil lawsuit has been filed. Additionally, any theft where there also occurred a threat of violence or the act of violence against a victim in order to render them helpless during the act of theft will increase the charge and thus the concluding penalty as deemed appropriate in court.
